    By Gustavo Arellano
    Published: July 31, 2008

    Raw Meat
    (self-released)

    By Niki D'Andrea
    Published: July 31, 2008

    Given the band/album name and cover image, I half-expected this band to sound like either cheesy '80s cock-rock throwbacks or raucous hardcore punk. It's neither. Although the...

    Bill Frisell

    By Michael Roberts

    Lyle Lovett

    By Niki D'Andrea
    Published: July 31, 2008

    While people have often picked on Lovett for his looks (they're just jealous they didn't have a brief marriage to Julia Roberts), you can't really argue with Lovett's merits as...
